A few words of greeting as the opening remark, Zhao Ji said: "Han Qing, I don't know what to do with Taichang Temple, the Department of Health and Welfare and the Taiyi Bureau."

"The minister has not yet taken office, and the three departments of Taichang Temple, the Department of Health and Welfare, and the Taiyi Bureau have never been appointed before, so they dare not speak up."

Zhao Ji smiled: "Han Qing doesn't need to be humble. Zhang Zai is famous for the Ming ancient rites in the court, and the Qing family inherited Zhang Zai, and the judgment of Taichang Temple can be described as competent. The Department of Health and Welfare was created by Han Qing's words, and in medical affairs, he is the director of the Qing family. How can it not be said? Be blunt. ”

Han Gang pondered for a moment and said, "For the position of Taichang, Zhou said Zongbo and Qin said Fengchang, and the first king took charge of the ritual and music medicine." It is the first of the nine Qings, because of its palm ritual music and the Ming Gang. However, now there are countless people who go against the ancient rites, and the ancestor once said, rejuvenate one's own goodness, watch people's aspirations, think innocently, and stop etiquette and righteousness! You can do things in the family, and you can do things in the king, but the father of the gentleman, the one who lifts the weight is also! ”

In Confucianism, etiquette is the foundation of discipline, and music has the effect of educating people's hearts. Rites and music are not separated, so Taichang Temple should be in charge of ritual and music according to the system. At the same time, poetry and music are also inseparable, and the poetry compiled by Confucius is inseparable from ritual music. Therefore, in various ceremonies of the imperial court, the singers sang mostly four-character poems imitating the Book of Songs.

Zhao Yiran bowed his head: "Han Qing's argument is very good, and it will be discussed in the Taichang Rite House in a few days." ”

mentioned the Taichang Rite Temple in person, naturally it was to remind Han Gang where the scope of authority of the Taichang Temple was, but then Zhao Ji said: "Wait a while, and then discuss this matter with Han Qing." ”

Han Gang was a little surprised when he heard this, the previous sentence was nothing, it was just a reminder, but the additional sentence 'wait for time' was a little weird, and it seemed to have a deep meaning. Will he be qualified to talk about pleasure in a few days?

Han Gang faintly heard that Zhao Ji intended to change the official system and clean up the official system of the current stacked bed frame house. Two years ago, when Zhao Ji issued an edict to proofread the "Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty", there was a little rumor. But because there was no follow-up action, and it was the Battle of Pingxia, there was no sound, and no one cared, just an ordinary revision of the classics. But the sentence that Zhao Ji just added seems to have some meaning...... But it may also be that I think too much.

Since the Son of Heaven has made it clear not to infringe on the authority of the Taichang Rite Academy, Han Gang no longer mentions the Taichang Temple, "As for the Department of Health and Welfare, although it is advocated by the ministers, its duties have been in charge for a long time, and the Tai Medical Bureau and the Hanlin Medical Court have been in charge of their affairs......

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "In the past, there was no Red Guarantee Bureau. ”

Zhao Ji attaches great importance to the Red Protection Bureau, which is responsible for pox. Han Gang's name spread all over the world because of cowpox, but why is Zhao Gang's reputation not like this? After all, Han Gang is also Zhao Ji's courtier.

At the same time, although the price of pox is extremely low, due to different places, a dose is around thirty or fifty yuan, and the most expensive will not exceed one mo. That is, seventy-eight Wen, the price of a bucket of rice. And there are many wealthy families and temples for the sake of yin and virtue, in one breath to pack dozens, hundreds or even thousands of pox seedlings, scattered in ordinary children, and their own children to plant pox at the same time, so that there are almost no children in the world who can't afford pox, but the whole country, every year need to be pox young sons how many million, so that the court also has a balance of tens of thousands a year.

Such a good thing that is famous and beneficial, and it is good for himself and his children, Zhao Ji really wants Han Gang to come up with a few more cases, anyway, there has never been an example of being promoted to the two governments because of medical affairs in the past. And even if Han Gang can be immune to serious diseases such as tuberculosis, wind disease, and thirst-quenching disease, if he wants to benefit the world, it will take several years or even ten years, and it will not be a taboo to let him enter Xifu at that time.

However, Han Gang's reply completely involved a new prescription, "The minister is in Hedong, and the Baochi Bureau is the busiest because of its special responsibility for pox, and the name is often passed on in my ears. But the Department of Health and Welfare rarely hears of it. The original intention of the minister to ask His Majesty to set up the Department of Health and Welfare should have been to preside over the prevention of epidemics. Acne is just one type of epidemic. 'The diseases of the people are in charge of the diseases, and there are diseases in all four seasons'. For example, dysentery, typhoid fever, plague, and Gu poison edema are all diseases that hurt millions of people, and the Department of Health and Welfare should not stand idly by. We should participate in it to protect the people, so that there will be no great plague in the year of great calamity, and that Your Majesty will bless all the people without harm. ”

"That's how it should be." Han Gang wants the Department of Health and Welfare to play more roles, not like now, only the Bao Chi Bureau is the busiest, and the other branches are too idle, of course Zhao Ji will not object to this, "The Department of Health and Welfare is in the matter, and the Qing family can let it go." ”

"As for the Imperial Medical Bureau." Han Gang thought for a while, and said, "The Taiyi Bureau has the position of educating students and trying to select medical officers, but good doctors rely on more practice and practice, not reading and being taught. However, the minister heard that in today's Taiyi Bureau, only a dozen or so Hanlin medical officers are most valued, and they are constantly invited every day, while there are very few students from the Taiyi Bureau who are invited to come to the clinic. ”

"Han Qing may not know that the students of the Imperial Medical Bureau must go to the military and scholars in Beijing for consultation, and there are not a few students and soldiers who are treated."

"It's still too little. If you come to the door for consultation, there are only three or five people a day, and if you sit in the museum, thirty or fifty people a day are not a problem. There are a total of 100 students in the upper, middle and lower classes of the Taiyi Bureau, and in the Zhujun and Zhuxue students in Beijing, it is impossible for them to have three or five thousand injuries and illnesses every day no matter what. ”

Zhao Ji almost understood: "What does Han Qing mean to set up a medical hall and let the students of the Imperial Medical Bureau sit for consultation?" ”

Han Gang bowed his hand: "The minister asks His Majesty to set up a hospital to treat patients in the capital, and set up a pharmacy for millions of eunuchs and civilians in Beijing." In this way, the students of the Taiyi Bureau can hone their medical skills, and the medical officers of the Hanlin can also sit in shifts in the medical hall or pharmacy for several days, and the more incurable diseases they have seen, the more they can improve their medical skills. ”

Listening to Han Gang's eloquent talk, Zhao Ji secretly rejoiced that he was fortunate to transfer Han Gang to a position that was not important. Before taking office, there are so many ideas, and when they take office, they definitely don't know how many. If it is placed in a critical position, it should also be drastic.

Zhao Ji suddenly wanted to laugh, no matter what term Wang Anshi is in, he wants to achieve something, and his son-in-law is also an ordinary character and personality. It's as if if you don't do it, you can't receive it with peace of mind.

However, both of them are courtiers who can do things, and they can achieve something wherever they put it, not just talking on paper, which is the main reason why Zhao Ji can appoint Wang Anshi and Han Gang with peace of mind.

At present, Han Gang is placed in Taichang Temple, and he is also in charge of the Department of Health and Welfare and the Taiyi Bureau, Zhao Ji just wants to use his talents, and he doesn't have to worry that his future credit will be too eye-catching, so that it is difficult to arrange.

However, Zhao Ji thought that Han Gang would have a new medical prescription similar to cowpox this time, but he didn't expect that after listening to it for a long time, he still built a medical hall and served as a medical officer, which made him a little disappointed. Seeing that Han Gang had no new words, he nodded: "Han Qing's words of gold and jade should be written for me to take a closer look." ”

Zhao Ji obviously wanted to end today's topic, Han Gang understood in his heart, and bowed: "The minister respectfully obeys the holy commandment." ”

was about to retire, but Zhao Ji remembered something: "Fang Cai Han Qingyan and the catalog of "Materia Medica" are unknown, what can you say? ”

The world-known "Materia Medica" is the abbreviation of "Shennong's Materia Medica". It is called the Sutra, and its status in the medical world is roughly similar to that of the Six Classics of Confucianism. If it weren't for Han Gang's special identity, he would dare to say such a thing, either to scold or make people laugh.

But Han Gang did have some ideas for compiling a pharmacopoeia. He had planned to convene people in the name of the Ministry of Health and Health and the Tai Medical Bureau to compile a medical dictionary or a compendium of materia medica. I managed to leave an introduction in the previous topic, I thought that I would have to mention it two or three more times before it would be effective, but Zhao Ji had already taken the initiative to mention it.

Han Gang stood still, and talked confidently: "Your Majesty is Mingjian." The essence of the classics lies in cataloguing and classification, and medicine cannot be an exception. The so-called classification of its genera is clear about its origin. "Shennong's Materia Medica", regardless of animals, plants and minerals, only the upper, middle and lower grades and jade, plants, birds and beasts to distinguish, attached to the meaning of heaven, earth and man. But it was a house full of copper coins, and there was not even a single rope. ”

The terms animal and plant appeared very early, and their definitions are not very different from those of later generations, and they were not coined by Han Gang. Zhao Ji didn't understand it, nodded lightly, and motioned for Han Gang to continue.

I only heard Han Gang continue: "The ancestor said in "Zhengmeng", 'Animals are born in the heavens, and breathing is the gradual gathering and dispersion; Plants are born in all places, and the rise and fall of yin and yang are gradually dispersed. The two things are very different. Minerals such as dansha and realgar are even more different. All things beneath it are also so different that they should not be confused into one category. They must be distinguished by a compendium for medicinal purposes. ”

The preliminary classification of organisms was expounded by Han Gang as early as in "Gui Window Cong Tan". In "Gui Window Cong Talk", Han Gang made a separate compilation of biology and described it in a unified manner. Insects, fish, and crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs are distinguished when cataloguing, and common sense such as finless porpoises and dolphins are not fish but water beasts have been clarified. But the words are clear that animals and plants should be divided into categories like compiling a bibliography, and Han Gang said it for the first time.

Su Song has written the "Materia Medica", which is the latest work in the pharmacopoeia in recent years. But he was inevitably influenced by the "Shennong's Materia Medica", and in terms of cataloguing, there was still a classification of upper, middle and lower grades, and there were no rules at all.

Taxonomy is the foundation of biology, just as algebra is the foundation of mathematics, just as elementary school such as exegesis is the foundation of Confucianism. It's a pity that Han Gang doesn't have Linnaeus's ability. At most, he can only put forward the basic principles, the phylum, the family, the genus, and the scope of his knowledge is only in the top-level phylum, and then there are pieces of blanks, and the specific content has to be filled in the blanks. Moreover, when biology and mineralogy have not yet been established, they can only settle down in medicine.

However, taxonomy has a peculiarity that the scientific name is followed by the name of the person who named it. Han Gang must inherit this characteristic. Tempting them to make a name and inducing them to profit is always the simplest and most effective way.
